“SeaFirst Insurance dealt with an emergency flood situation whilst we were out of the country and were unreachable! They acted immediately when a neighbour called them to inform (them) about the flood, sending a service tech team out that same night. SeaFirst's repair and restoration team were instructed, coordinated, highly skilled, fast workers and absolutely amazing in every way possible.”
— Michelle Hall, Cedarwood Cove
